Pretty impressive, if he's still got half that skill, he should keep a spare pair of boots with him, in case we need him on the pitch!!

He aint fit to lace Dunks boots.

A great appointment. This man and the board finally reached a decision this suits all. I like what I see in hyypia. He was a tower of strength as a player and 4th in bundeslegua is clear evidence of his respect as a top manager. Moreover, he shares Blooms vision, with our new facilities kicking off this season. This is a great appointment and one in sure our players will fully benefit from. Welcome Mr. Hyypia!

An appointment yes, a great one! only time will tell, as for clear evidence of his respect as a top manager? 4th in the bundesleague then sacked is not clear enough evidence imo. It's a hit or miss appointment, hopefully a hit, if not expect another change come new year!

OK the decision has been made and he has signed a three year deal,we want to be in the Premiership within that time.We can still have a moan about his decisions but we owe it to him to get behind him.I want some higher calibre players signed.I hope he is not afraid to voice his opinions and let the fans in on whats going on.Would be nice for him to give us a weekly run down of whats happening and what his thoughts are.

Next job get some players in that can read the game, over to you Burke.

As I have posted elsewhere Hyypia's appointment could prove to be a real coup for TB and the Albion. I am looking forward both to seeing who the rest of his back room team will be (in addition to NJ) and to the players he recruits.
One real positive about Hyypia is that I am sure that he will have strong views as to whom the club should sign (within budget of course). In that respect, as you imply Bucket feet Duffy, the spotlight will be on Burke especially as our Head of Scouting (Day) has left. Should any of the same problems that Oscar 'perceived' with recruiting re-occur then TB will know precisely where the problem lies.
The other bonus about appointing someone of Hyypia's pedigree is that it sends out a positive message of what the club's future ambitions are not only to us fans and the media but also importantly to potential acquisitions be they for the first team, the DS or youngsters for the Academy.
Great to have you in the driving seat SH. UTA.

Now the appointment is made its important to now it is the perfect appointment and who we were meant to have. Great to hear of his views and understanding The Master Cruyff's views that football, like everything in life, is about the mind - despite people considering it 'psycho pseudo clap trap'. At least the one who matters doesn't consider it so! Welcome Sami. Have a great stay!

Sami's video is common sense really, something that maybe a lot of people don't have these days. I hope Messrs Dunk and Greer are paying attention.
Defensively, we should be OK with Sami and his experience may give him the ability to coach the forwards in how to beat the defence. Be interesting whether we appoint a specialist attack coach or not.
Of all the candidates, Sami is the best IMHO so I'm happy. UTA

Great post and the other thing is he will, I'm sure, be financially free and should therefore be less fearfull of any consequences of him speaking his mind. But like you say, if TB sees the same problems as GP and OG experienced, he's intelligent enough to realise what needs to be done.

I'm excited for the new season as what will unfold will be perfect for everyone's learning.
